Starting off today’s Green Deals is Blix’s Valentine’s Day sale with up to $600 in savings across three e-bikes, two of which are the newest models released months ago, but the biggest deal is on the Packa Genie Cargo e-bike with $100 in free gear at $1,599. We also have a limited Lightning deal on Worx’s Landroid S 20V Robot Lawn Mower dropping things to a new $469 low, among its other model – but don’t sit on decisions cause it’ll likely go fast. There’s also Jackery’s Explorer 100 Plus Portable Power Station that fits right in your hand at its $89 low, among other power station and solar generator deals. Lastly, we spotted the return of the one-day-only $570 low on Greenworks’ 80V three-tool mower, trimmer, and blower combo. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s free extra battery offer on Aventon’s Pace 500.3 e-bikes, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve returning to $90, and more.
Carry your love with you on Blix’s Packa Genie cargo e-bike with $100 in free gear at $1,599 ($600 in savings)
Blix has launched its Valentine’s Day savings with up to $600 being taken off its three e-bike offers, with the biggest discount hitting the Packa Genie Cargo e-bike for $1,599 shipped. Normally priced at $2,099 outside of sales, we’ve only seen it go lower to $1,499 a few times over 2024, most recently during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with things keeping up at $1,699 in the time since. This sale is cutting $500 off the going rate – plus, giving you $100 worth of free running boards for the rear cargo rack – all at the second-lowest price we have tracked. As is always the case with Blix models, buying any two e-bikes together gives you an additional $200 off your order after using the promo code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.
Blix’s Packa Genie e-bike cruises into view at 20 MPH with a 40-mile travel range thanks to the combination of its 750W geared rear hub motor (peaking at 1,350W) and the 672Wh battery. There are five levels of pedal assistance to see to it that you get the full scope of its mileage, as well as a throttle for pure electric action which cuts down its expected travel range to around 25 miles.
It comes with some nice extra features too, with a full digital display that even has a USB port for charging your phone as you ride – which is always appreciated as someone who uses my phone’s GPS to navigate the city streets. There’s also puncture-resistant tires, fenders over top both of those, integrated head and taillights, a smart bell, hydraulic disc brakes, 7-speed gear shifter, as well as the obvious mounting points along the rear rack which boasts a 200-pound payload. A rear wheel net guard has even been thrown on, which is essential, in my opinion, if you plan to take any kids on the ride with you.
Limited Lightning deal drops Worx’s Landroid S 20V robot lawn mower to new $469 low
Amazon is offering a Lightning deal on the Worx Landroid S 20V Robotic Lawn Mower for $468.90 shipped, with 27% of the units being sold at the time of writing this. This model would normally run you $700, after falling from its original $1,000 MSRP earlier in 2024, with the most recent discount being the former $478.50 low we spotted at the top of 2025. As that rate did to its Christmas low, today’s deal comes in to beat all the discounts we’ve seen before as a 33% markdown (53% off the original MSRP), saving you $231 at a new all-time low price. It’s slightly bigger Landroid M 20V model is also benefitting from some savings at $599.99 shipped, down from $900.
The Worx Landroid robot mowers are autonomous assistants that you can rely on to tackle lawn maintenance for up to 1/8 acres on a single charge with the S 20V and up to 1/4 acres on a single charge with the M 20V. What drives these robots is an advanced AI system that keeps it on track around your yard, with a floating blade disc that will automatically lift for increased clearance through uneven terrain patches. You’ll be getting a solid array of smart controls here, which you can access through the companion app via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. On top of all its capabilities, the included batteries that power the robot also come compatible and interchangeable with Worx’s PowerShare ecosystem of tools and devices.
Jackery’s palm-sized Explorer 100 Plus 99Wh LiFePO4 power station falls to $89 low
Jackery’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Explorer 100 Plus Portable Power Station for $89 shipped. Normally going for $149 at full price, this rate first dropped costs back in September, which repeated again during Black Friday/Cyber Monday, most recently appearing at the start of 2025. You’re getting another shot at it today, with the 40% markdown here cutting $60 off the tag to give you the all-time lowest price we have tracked – beating out its direct pricing from Jackery’s site by $40.
Beating out many of the larger 20,000mAh to 25,000mAh power banks that sit at higher rates, Jackery’s Explorer 100 Plus provides you with a 99Wh (31,000mAh) LiFePO4 capacity in a two-pound unit. It tops off your devices with up to 128W of power output through the dual USB-C and single USB-A ports. Connecting it to a wall outlet can refill the battery to 70% in about an hour, with things taking a little longer at two hours for a full battery. There’s also the solar charging option too, with its maximum 100W solar input pushing it back to full in about two hours, or you could also connect it to your car’s auxiliary port for a three-hour recharge.
This Greenworks mower, trimmer, blower combo gets you ready for yard duty at $570 low (Save $530, Today only)
As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 21-inch Lawn Mower, 13-inch String Trimmer, and 730 Leaf Blower Combo for $569.99 shipped through the rest of the day only. Coming down from its $1,100 price tag, we mostly saw it dropping between $600 and $700 over 2024, though it did fall lower on occasion – repeating this same low rate once a month since Black Friday. It’s coming back for the rest of the day with $530 in savings at the lowest price we have tracked. You’d be hard-pressed to find this combination of tools anywhere else, with even Amazon offering a less advanced 3-tool combo as the closest comparison at $522 right now.
We’re nearly two months away from spring’s arrival, and what better way to prep for catching up on lawncare responsibilities than by taking advantage of the off-season low price on this 3-tool combo from Greenworks? The mower sports an 80V brushless motor that is powered by the included 4.0Ah battery, giving you the juice to tackle up to a 1/2 acre of land on a single charge (which can be changed out for another of the brand’s batteries for longer jobs), delivering seven different cutting heights. The 13-inch trimmer comes with the brand’s dual bump feed head to easily and effortlessly replace broken lines, with an 80-minute runtime on its low setting thanks to the battery. The leaf blower provides up to 730 CFM of airflow (reaching up to 170 MPH) with a variable speed trigger with cruise control for more effortless handling.

Last week, we reported that the e-bike world had a new motor claiming to be the lightest and most efficient. Now, we’re already seeing TQ’s new TQHPR40 motor proliferate on more road and gravel e-bikes, including the recently announced E-ASTR from Ridely.
Ridley’s new E‑ASTR brings lightweight electric assistance to its already impressive ASTR gravel platform, powered by the cutting-edge TQ HPR40 mid-drive system. Unlike bulkier e‑bike setups, this system adds just 1.17 kg (2.6 lb) at the crank and a discreet 1.46 kg (3.2 lb) and 290 Wh battery hidden within the downtube, keeping the frame’s silhouette nearly identical to the non-electric version of the same bike. According to BikeRumor, riders looking closely might spot only a slightly fatter downtube, internal cable routing, and a handlebar-end LED indicator, giving visual clues without shouting “electric bike.”
What the E‑ASTR gives up in sheer power from the petite motor, it gains in ride feel. The HPR40 is said to deliver a modest 40 Nm of torque and up to 200W of assist, or enough to smooth out climbs or offer a tailwind on gravel without overpowering the rider. With support cut off at 25 km/h (15.5 mph), pedal responsiveness remains natural and fluid. Combined with the ASTR’s race-inspired geometry, the bike looks to offer sharp handling and comfort suited to the rigors of modern gravel routes.
Ridley is currently offering the E‑ASTR in three spec levels: a value SRAM Apex XPLR AXS build €7,199 (or approximately US $8,500), a mid-range SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1×13 version for €8,199 (or approximately US $9,700), and a top-tier Shimano GRX 2×12 Di2 model for €8,899 (or approximately US $10,500). Each features high-end drivetrains, integrated cockpit options, carbon wheels, and industry-standard gravel brakes and tires. With its race-ready frame and stealthy, lightweight e‑assistance, the E‑ASTR is positioning itself as a high-performance gravel machine that stays true to its roots, delivering help when needed, without overshadowing the rider.

Wait, you’re telling me that’s an electric bike?!
Ultra-lightweight motors like the TQHPR40 are quietly reshaping the e-bike industry by making electric assistance almost invisible, both in looks and in feel. As systems shrink and integrate more seamlessly into traditional bike frames, they’re opening the door to new categories of performance-oriented e-bikes that preserve the ride dynamics of analog bikes while offering just enough support when it counts.
For riders who value a natural pedaling experience but still want a little help on climbs or longer days, and especially for aging riders who want to maintain their riding habits despite father time taking an impact on joints and muscles, these minimalist systems are proving that you don’t need a bulky battery or a massive motor to get the benefits of going electric. The result is a wave of stealthy, high-performance e-bikes that are less about replacing effort and more about enhancing the ride.

One believer is set to lose nearly $50,000 betting on Tesla’s ability to deliver a Robotaxi service by the end of June (didn’t happen), and the controversial CEO’s most recent spat with President Trump had TSLA down nearly 5% in pre-morning trading.

Hyundai is getting ready to shake things up. A new electric crossover SUV, likely the Hyundai IONIQ 2, is set to debut in the coming months. It will sit below the Kona Electric as Hyundai expands its entry-level EV lineup.
Is Hyundai launching the IONIQ 2 in 2026?
After launching the Inster late last year, Hyundai is already preparing to introduce a new entry-level EV in Europe.
Xavier Martinet, President and CEO of Hyundai Europe, confirmed that the new EV will be revealed “in the next few months.” It will be built in Europe and scheduled to go on sale in mid-2026.
Hyundai’s new electric crossover is expected to be a twin to the Kia EV2, which will likely arrive just ahead of it next year.

It will be underpinned by the same E-GMP platform, which powers all IONIQ and Kia EV models (EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, and EV9).
Like the Kia EV3, it will likely be available with either a 58.3 kWh or 81.4 kWh battery pack option. The former provides a WLTP range of 267 miles while the latter is rated with up to 372 miles. All trims are powered by a single electric motor at the front, producing 201 hp and 209 lb-ft of torque.

Although it may share the same underpinnings as the EV2, Hyundai’s new entry-level EV will feature an advanced new software and infotainment system.
According to Autocar, the interior will represent a “step change” in terms of usability and features. The new system enables new functions, such as ambient lighting and sounds that adjust depending on the drive mode.
Hyundai E&E tech platform powered by Pleos (Source: Hyundai)
It’s expected to showcase Hyundai’s powerful new Pleos software and infotainment system. As an end-to-end software platform, Pleos connects everything from the infotainment system (Pleos Connect) to the Vehicle Operating System (OS) and the cloud.
Pleos is set to power Hyundai’s upcoming software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with new features like autonomous driving and real-time data analysis.

As an Android-based system, Pleos Connect features a “smartphone-like UI” with new functions including multi-window viewing and an AI voice assistant.
The new electric crossover is expected to start at around €30,000 ($35,400), or slightly less than the Kia EV3, priced from €35,990 ($42,500). It will sit between the Inster and Kona Electric in Hyundai’s lineup.
Hyundai said that it would launch the first EV with its next-gen infotainment system in Q2 2026. Will it be the IONIQ 2? Hyundai is expected to unveil the new entry-level EV at IAA Mobility in September. Stay tuned for more info. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.
